It really depends on your pocket book. If you don't have a problem on spending the money for the parts you can have done really quick. But if you have small resources like most of us, then it could take anywhere from one week to one month. I would recomend getting the parts slowly and once you have them all, put them tougether. Dont skimp on fuel management. 98ctr

I'd get as much done as possible beforehand. So get your gauges afc etc. in say the weekend before. Even do your injectors and set your afc so that when you are ready to put in your turbo, some of the work is done already.

yeah same here , I though that it was gunna be a biatch to install but then when i got down to doing it it took about a half hour, just double check everything especially before cutting anything and youll be fine. And take your time stripping the wires.
Good luck.

i am doing my first turbo install this weekend and honestly it is pretty damn easy. I got most of my stuff done in one night in a few hours. I am just working out some of the little stuff now and have a couple other things to do because i'm waiting on a part.

Re:how long can I expect on my first turbo install?
im 17 and it took my 3 days to do my turbo install, the only problems i ran into was the oil feed line cuz someone *cough*stealth*cough* didnt give me a L fitting so i did somethin stupid to make it fit 
and the piping was a pain in the ***, but keep in mind i did this ALL myself, one single person, im sure if i had two people i could get it done in a day easy, and this was my first install.
